Moving right around the roof is easy if you go high like Chuck is doing. The first time I went low, with my hands where Chuck's right foot is, and, although more obvious to me, it was harder at 5.9 or so.

Consilience.
Mike R high-stepping left to reach the arete.
Almost to the anchor.
On what can be the crux section. There's basically nothing for your hands, and slopers for your feet. This felt easy for me the first time (but the clip was very hard), but the second time I was desperate.
You're likely to experience some confusion as you move from right to left past two bolts on the upper slab. Go high or low? Climb up right of the bolt then go left or move left then up past the bolt?
Starting the first crux section. You tiptoe up and right along a narrow slab with your feet near the arete, and then reach straight left to make the clip. This was the only sporty section on the climb.
James through the business.
Me on Consilience, nearing the crux. The red climber is on Kate Moss, I believe. <br> <br> Photo taken by Kimberly Plummer.
Chris T. cruising.
First attempt at Consilience. Make sure you have a 70+ meter rope!
Lin deciding left or right? (Both work.)
